After playing defensive end last season, he was moved to tight end during spring because of the departure of Brent Miller. But Guthrie ended up missing part of spring drills. Guthrie is the fifth player to leave the program this year.

No reason was given for the departure at the time of this writing. Saguaro High (Scottsdale, Ariz.) offensive guard Kody Koebensky has given his oral commitment to the Sun Devils for the 2009 class. Arizona State beat out Utah, San Diego State, Army and Air Force for his services.

One of the three is rising sophomore Rodney Glass, who missed spring practice because of academics. Sophomore defensive tackle Zach Niusulu and senior linebacker Antone Saulsberry are also leaving the program. Saulsberry, who amassed nine tackles in 10 games last season, is rumored to be transferring to Sacramento State.

The 6-foot-2, 195-pounder racked up 154 tackles and three sacks last season en route to being named the 5A Division II Pima Region Defensive Player of the Year.

The 6-foot-4, 254-pounder chose the Sun Devils over Oregon, UNLV, Utah, Boise State and Texas A&M. "I like the offense they play," Malamala said. "It's a big campus, and I like the coaches. I wanted to stay in the Pac-10.” “He's good in the passing game,... mahudgens@yahoo.com (Marc Hudgens) Arizona State Sun Devils 2008-05-24T22:13:00-05:00 http://www.realfootball365.com/articles/arizonastate/9900 http://www.realfootball365.com/articles/arizonastate/9900 Regardless of his nomadic past, there's a good chance 60-year-old Arizona State head coach Dennis Erickson will now stay put. If that's the case, it would be a major plus for the Sun Devils and an enormous minus for the rest of the Pac-10. Armed with an overall NCAA head coaching record of 148-65-1, Erickson will likely rival the legendary Frank Kush and produce similar results.

He was enormously overlooked last year due to the Sun Devils' lackluster performance, but this year this kid may slip in under the... mahudgens@yahoo.com (Marc Hudgens) Arizona State Sun Devils 2007-06-21T04:37:50-05:00 http://www.realfootball365.com/articles/arizonastate/9855 http://www.realfootball365.com/articles/arizonastate/9855 "The winner of the Pac-10 Conference plays in the Rose Bowl. The Rose Bowl is the goal for Sun Devil football. No one should approach me about this job if they don't understand that," said Lisa Love, Arizona State's athletic director. 1996 was the last time the Sun Devils were ablaze with hellfire.

ASU returns a defense that finished 114th in the nation last season and will, in all likelihood, remain mediocre, at best. The Sun...

Nick Foles did. Foles, a prolific, pro-style quarterback at Westlake High School near Austin, TX, didn't wait to be recruited by the pass-oriented Arizona State Sun Devils. He went to them. "I don't think they even knew who I was when I went there," Foles told the Austin American Statesman after giving a verbal commitment to ASU earlier this week.

It seems that subpoenas have also been falling from the sky for Arizona State Sun Devils head coach Dirk Koetter. In the past month, Koetter, along with other Arizona State officials, has been named in two court cases relating to disciplinary issues with his players. The first case was filed on February 22 at the Maricopa County... none50@realfootball365.com (Tim Petro) Arizona State Sun Devils 2006-03-30T05:52:08-05:00 http://www.realfootball365.com/articles/arizonastate/8887 http://www.realfootball365.com/articles/arizonastate/8887 Spring football is in full swing at college campuses all over America, and Arizona State is no exception. After finishing at 7-5 in the 2005 campaign and picking up a bowl win in their own backyard, Sun Devils' head coach Dirk Koetter is shaking things up a bit in Tempe. Koetter has hired four new coaches to assist him in the quest for a BCS bowl bid. However, the coaching changes aren't the... none50@realfootball365.com (Tim Petro) Arizona State Sun Devils 2006-03-23T16:47:08-05:00
